gi and insulin resistance during pregnancy

GI, or glycemic index, refers to a numerical scale that ranks foods based on how quickly and how much they raise blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance, on the other hand, occurs when cells in the body become less responsive to the hormone insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. During pregnancy, gestational diabetes can occur, which is characterized by high blood sugar levels. The consumption of foods with high glycemic index can contribute to insulin resistance during pregnancy, potentially leading to complications for both the mother and the baby.
